INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
1. Before the Civil War, the United States’ economy was based on agriculture and trade.
2. After the Civil War, the United States’ economy became increasingly based on the
production of manufactured goods, which are consumer products made in factories.
3. During the Industrial Revolution, new consumer products such as the Model-T were
mass produced on assembly lines, which made safe transportation easy and affordable.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
1. Alexander Graham Bell was always interested in sound and speech, and wanted to
invent a machine that would allow people to talk to each other across wires.
2. In 1876, Bell tested his “talking telegraph,” or telephone, by shouting “Mr. Watson,
come here, I want to see you!”
3. Bell developed his invention of the telephone into a major corporation, Bell Telephone
Company, which later became American Telephone and Telegraph, or AT&T.

THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
1. Orville and Wilbur Wright built and repaired bicycles for a living, but in their free
time, they thought about building a flying machine.
2. In 1899, the Wright Brothers built a glider, a plane with no engine that can glide on
wind, and tested it at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
3. In 1903, their motorized airplane flew for 12 seconds, a breakthrough that started the
aircraft industry.

THE AUTOMOBILE
1. An electrical engineer named Frank Sprague designed the world’s first system of
electric streetcars, which traveled more quickly and held more people than horsedrawn streetcars.
2. Frank and Charles Duryea built the first American car in 1893; this began the
automobile industry in the United States.
3. In 1913, Henry Ford first used the assembly line in the production of automobiles,
which made owning a car more affordable.
